The New Year spring cleaning begins!

ROTF Deluxe Preview Bumblebee action figure in car mode.

The new year brings about another major activity for me - the Spring Cleaning before Chinese New Year (CNY, which falls on 14 & 15 Feb this year)!  With just slightly more than a month left till CNY (where the traditional Chinese aren’t supposed to clean the house or clear out clutter during the first 15 days), I started to clutter clear the table in my bedroom. 

The dust that settled there must be the main cause of my worsening skin irritation in recent weeks.  And so I cleared out some paper trash, and I finally sent out the bag of paper toy packaging (of toys that I opened some weeks ago) to the recycling bin, at last!  Let’s hope my skin issue improves after that.

My award winning Transformers Revenge of the Fallen (ROTF) Deluxe Preview Bumblebee toy watched me as I went about my spring cleaning session for the day.  The dust that flew up must have been too much for him, so he folded himself into his car mode to continue observing me.  He must be ‘relieved’ to know he’s safe from the clutter clearing plastic bags next to me, for this year, LOL!

How about you?  Have you started in your Annual Spring Cleaning yet?  Or are you still busy going shopping and bringing more stuff into your already cluttered home?  LOL!  Feel free to share your spring cleaning thoughts here!

      I was pushing off my spring cleaning for about 3 weeks now. Has thought I would get it done in mid Dec 2009 for the 1st Jan New Year but then I was lazy…heehee… So now my target is before end of this month to get ready for the Chinese New Year. My usual spring clean is Clean Window scrub the floor tiles!!

      Hope your skin irritation has heal! Take Care

      I will not do any cleaning for my existing house as going to move into my sister house after CNY. So, very relaxing this CNY.

      Hi Astro Galaxy,

      Thanks for your get well wishes. I’ve been to the doctor for some precription to speed up the healing process. It seems I have dust mite allergy, which does not go well with my toy collecting hobby at the moment…

      Cleaning up my room should have been done more regularly because of my numerous toys and general clutter that gather dust. But it also means it’s more tedious to shift them around to clean the places where they reside at…

      Hi deSMOnd,

      Wow, I’m so envious that you don’t have to do spring cleaning this year like everyone else…
